4. I have never at any time said that l
proposed to give these lane sewers fall OF
| Is feet from West Broad to East Broad street.
1t is probable that with such flush as we
| can provide from our standpipe fall OF
or feet in this distance will be found
amply sufficient One of the advantages of
my plan is that each lane sewer could be
| placed on grade fall suited to its own in
| dividual work. provided the terminal points
at East Broad street be located on general
grade from Bay to Bolton southwark and
from Twelfth to Bolton northward. The
natural surface grade fall from west to east
south of Perry to Twelfth street very mate
rally favors this plan.
). The main problem involved in my plan
is to confne these sewers to the lanes as far
as possible. Whether it shall be found adj
visable to have single fall from West
Broad to East Broad, with only one neces-
sary flush point for the whole line, or
whether in some sections the lane shall be
divided into two or three sectional pipes,
with a flush to each section,
is entirely a matter of detail,
and does not in any material man
ner detract from the value and economy of
combining our scheme to one central pipe IN
each lane. That is the real plan, the dis
cussion of which Mr.. Warning carefully
avoids.
l append table showing the surface
grade falls along each proposed line of house
drain pipe, from which it will be readily
seen how excellently the grade falls of the
surface south of South Broad street lane
accommodate themselves to my plans.
Whilst between Bay and Perry stree S the
eastern termini of the lane sewers may be
placed Adore the East Broad street sewer
and curve down to it, from Perry lane south
ward there are a number of points at which
the house drain must enter the East Broad
street sewer on its western side in order that
the house drain may be placed sufficiently
beneath the surface.
Again, whilst the grade fall of the drain
pipes in Bay lane, Congress lane, Broughton
lane, York lane, and South Broad street
lane may be confined to 4 to Z feet from
West Broad to East Broad, we find that we
must give the Perry lane pipe fall of Is
feet The grade fall of this pipe need not
exceed or feet from West Broad to
Drayton, but east of Drayton we are re-
quired by the surface-grade to add ~ to 12
feet fall in the pipe from Drayton to East
Broad Several other lines present similar
Municipalities.
The section bounded by West Broad, Tat
nall, Taylor and Gwinnett, also
by CASTOR, Whitaker, Tattnall and
Gwinnett, can best be drained by
laterals converging along West Broad,
Montgomery, Jefferson, 1atnall, Barnard
and Howard, to line about Huntingdon,
running from, West Broad to Whitaker,
thence along Whitaker to Gwinnett or Boil
ton lane. and under the park or parade
ground, toward the lower grade falls about
Abercorn and Bolton This would give the
convergent Huntingdon line fall of four
or five feet, and tap M WdrinQ's hObbu
hole on Jefferson street four .fezt betoIO the
surface The section east of the park and
parade ground is easily enough drained, as
will be seen by studying the table.
